Chapter 568: 2008 NBA Draft


   In the history of the NBA, there are very few guards elected as the No. 1 pick, and point guards are even rarer.
   Before this, only four people could do it, Oscar Robertson, John Lucas II, "Magic" Johnson, and Allen Iverson.
   Now, Rose has a good chance of becoming the fifth.
   Of course, it may depend on how the Grizzlies choose.
   Well, when the fans were so bad that they were desperate, even Zach Randolph didn't get any better in the trade, the Grizzlies finally "Ou" and got their dream No. 1 pick.
   This is also the first pick in the history of the Grizzlies.
   All the fans in Memphis are looking forward to the No. 1 pick to save them.
  Some people may say that Memphis is not a big city, and the Grizzlies are not well-known and have no team history. Those who go to such a city are unlucky.
  This is indeed true, but James’ success in Denver this year has changed many people’s views.
   As information becomes more developed, for players, the gap between large and small cities is narrowing.
   More importantly, how cool it is to lead a team that has never been successful. Sun Hao and James have successively demonstrated.
   So for players, there must be gains if they lose, and it is not necessarily a bad thing.
   And this year’s draft is very special, because TNT has invited Sun Hao to be a guest commentator. Scarlett also hopes Sun Hao can go out for a walk.
   Now she has basically passed the dangerous period, and Sun Hao has been bored at home, she is also afraid that Sun Hao will get sick.
   So, before the start of the draft, the media had begun to report that Sun Hao would appear in the draft.
   This will also be Sun Hao’s first appearance in the public after his retirement!
   It suddenly fry on social media.
   This news is as explosive as James' victory.
   No way, this is Sun Hao's influence.
   On the evening of June 27th, Madison Square Garden, the arena that can accommodate 20,000 people was full.
   This scene is probably the first time in NBA history.
   After all, I have seen the game full, I have seen the All-Star full, and this draft is full. It's really a long time to see.
   And TNT really did a lot of work this time. In addition to Sun Hao, they also invited Jordan.
   The starlight of the commentary this year is much stronger than that of the following drafts.
   When Sun Hao entered the venue, the cheers on the scene had already exploded once.
   Although he looks a little blessed because he hasn't played for a year, he still can't hold back the fans' missing him.
   Sun Hao and Jordan were already chatting happily when they went to the commentary.
   This is how people are. If you haven’t seen each other for a while, there will always be a lot more topics to talk about.
   Besides, they are both retired.
   When I sat down at the meeting, Sun Hao was also full of freshness.
   After all, from the angle of the commentary, he can be regarded as the first time the flower girl sat in the sedan chair.
   And the view from this location is really good.
   Turning your head slightly to the left is the stage, and turning your head slightly to the right is the small green house, which is a great experience.
   He suddenly felt that he would retire completely in the future, and being a guest commentator is also a good job.
   While he chatted with Jordan and the others, he looked towards the little green house.
   This year's draft contest, from the perspective of his traversers, should be the "biggest" year after 2003.
   When he looked over, he saw Beasley also looking to the commentary booth, and he reached out and said hello.
   Sun Hao also reached out his hand and greeted him, and then chatted with Jordan and the others for a while Beasley.
   The guy who was pulled by him to become a strong man and trained the defensive badge, Durant's friend, has not changed much in history.
   He is also the only one in this draft who is considered likely to have an impact on the No. 1 pick in Ross.
   Beasley's performance in the NCAA is very similar to Anthony of the year, and the statistics may be even better.
   averaged 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds per game.
   Of course, this is just data. Beasley is still a bit less talented than Anthony.
   Although both of them are very good offensively, Beasley can’t count as an offensive kaleidoscope because his weak-handed offense is actually not strong.
   In other words, when defending against his strong side, the effect will be obvious.
   This is why you look at both of them very strong, but the threat on the court, Beasley is always almost meaningless.
   Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the position and quotient.
  Like Durant, he played the 4th or even the 5th position in college, but his shooting was very accurate, which allowed him to play the 3rd or even the 2nd position in the NBA.
   Anthony is the same. Playing the 3rd and 4th positions in the NCAA swings, and in the NBA, he can immediately become a pure 3rd position.
   But Beasley is different. Beasley used a standard four-position game in college, and many of his scoring relied on technical scoring under the basket.
   The height of 2 meters 08 is incomprehensible in the NCAA, but in the NBA, playing the fourth position is a bit of a loss.
   As for swinging to the 3rd position, his offensive and defensive speed is relatively poor, the typical "no three, no four" type.
   Then there is his golf quotient problem.
   He is actually very similar to another player, Kyrie Irving.
   has a strong offensive ability, but it is difficult to get the ball out of their hands.
   This type of player is easy to play beautiful data, and it is good to watch, but they often cannot lead the team to victory.
   Not to mention other things, as long as you have played the ball, encountering a teammate who can't pass the ball, it feels more uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
   Once he can't score a goal, you will instantly feel like you don't want to play.
   Of course, these are all obtained by Sun Hao, a traverser, looking back on Beasley's career with a future vision.
   Now Beasley has outstanding talent and is known as the next Anthony, and the future can be expected.
   And the same person develops differently in different environments.
   In history, Beasley went to the Heat, but now the Heat is still a playoff team, his career trajectory will definitely change.
   In addition to Ross and Beasley, there are many famous players in the Green House.
   OJ Mayo, Westbrook, Love, Gallinari, Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez, Robin Lopez...
   Not in the little green house, Roy Hibbert, McGee, Ibaka, Batum, Jordan, Pekovic, Asik, Dragic...
   This is definitely the NBA's success rate.
   "Who do you think the Memphis Grizzlies will pick as this year's champion?"
   "Derek Rose."
   Sun Hao and Jordan almost spoke in unison.
  This question does not have a question of who's vision.
   Just like last year, whoever gets the No. 1 lottery will choose Oden. This year, whoever gets the No. 1 lottery will basically choose Rose.
   In the first year of NCAA, he led the University of Memphis to 33 wins and 1 loss in the championship, and led the team to the NCAA finals in "March Madness".
   You need to know that the University of Memphis is not the top school like North Carolina or Duke. The only player in team history who entered the NBA as a super giant is "Penny" Hardaway.
   Besides, among Rose’s teammates, only Chris Douglas Roberts and Joey Dorsey are strong.
   So just by listening to this resume, you can feel how awesome this person is.
   Not to mention the fact that anyone who has seen him play in college knows how shocking Ross is on the court.
   In fact, it should be said that Rose’s college experience is very similar to Zion Williamson in the future.
   Before entering university, none of them was the most promising.
   Rose’s most favored in the same class is the first high school student OJ Mayo, Williamson's most favored in the same class is RJ Barrett.
   But they all used a year of college time to convince everyone.
   And OJ Mayo is the same as Barrett, the college performance is very hip.
   So sometimes when you look at the NBA draft carefully, you will find that many stories are actually repeated.
   Speaking of back to Ross, another important reason why Sun Hao and Jordan will have such a consensus is because of this year's top pick.
   The team holding the No. 1 pick this year is the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies are the Memphis team!
   Just like the 2009 No. 1 pick in history, if the Thunder were drawn by the Thunder, the Thunder would definitely pick Griffin.
   The influence of NCAA in a city is even greater than that of the NBA.
   Of course, another reason why Jordan supports Rose is because Rose is also a Chicago native.
   In history, Jordan can say "If Rose doesn't hurt, he can win 6 championships".
   They were talking, Stern came out of the backstage.
   It was still an enthusiastic boo, but what was different this time from Stern was that he unconsciously glanced at the commentary when he came out.
   He hasn't seen Sun Hao for almost a year.
   Seeing Sun Hao's slightly blessed body, which is not too blessed, the stone in his heart fell slightly.
   is still the familiar opening remarks, and then announced the ownership of the first pick, followed by a five-minute waiting time.
   In five minutes, Stern walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and announced his final ownership.
   "The first overall pick in the first round of the NBA in 2008, the Memphis Grizzlies chose Derrick Rose, a 1.91-meter point guard, from the University of Memphis."
   At the moment Stern announced the results, there was a lot of cheers.
   Many of the fans here tonight are fans from Memphis. They have been waiting for this moment for more than two months.
  As the "city hero" of Memphis, what could be more exciting for them!
Sun Hao also thought of the Grizzlies lineup at this time. Although Battier left a bit regrettable, Rosgar Mike Miller Garudy Gay, plus Randolph, will land in the NBA next season. .
   With a little operation, the rise of the Grizzlies is only faster than the Bulls in history!
   is interesting.
   The second overall pick belongs to the Knicks.
   The Knicks finally chose Beasley.
   This choice is not surprising, compared to Mayo, Beasley's immediate combat power is better.
   Like the Grizzlies, the Knicks have been in decline for many years. They need a talent to save them immediately.
   Sun Hao couldn't help but smashed his mouth when he saw it.
   New York is more luxurious than Los Angeles. For players like Beasley, going there may not be a good thing.
   The third overall pick belongs to the Sonics.
   "Will Seattle choose OJ Mayo?"
   Barkley also raised a new question.
   Jordan nodded.
   In the previous draft predictions, Mayo was basically either second or third.
   And there is a short story. Mayo was so famous in high school that he and Jordan had singled out.
   Jordan also recognizes Mayo's talent, so it is not surprising that Jordan feels this way.
   Sun Hao also felt that the probability of supersonic picking Mayo is not small, but it may be that the impression of the third thunder master in the previous life was too deep, so he shook his head.
   "I think they will choose Russell Westbrook."
   Sun Hao said.
   "Are you serious? That guy played on the bench in college. I admit he is very talented, but he can't beat OJ."
   Buckley asked rhetorically.
   "You are right, but that is my instinct."
   What Barkley said was true. Westbrook was a substitute for Darren Collison in college.
   So Sun Hao is not sure, after all, history has changed.
   If this is for someone else, even Smith, Barkley will have to gamble.
   It is just Sun Hao, he nodded in approval.
   After a while, Stern came out to announce the final result of the Thunder.
  1m 91 point guard, the Sonics chose Russell Westbrook!
   This result caused a commotion on the scene.
   Just as Barkley thought, this choice of the Sonics is a bit surprising.
   At this time, Jordan touched his chin and looked at Sun Hao, not knowing what he was thinking.
   Sun Hao laughed when he heard the result.
   Because in his mind, the stalks of the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother have unconsciously appeared.
   Now that the eldest brother has not gone to Seattle, the second brother is still there. I don’t know if the third brother will also go next year.
   I'm going to really go, Jeff Green, as the eldest brother, can barely make up a junior, which is quite interesting.
   The Cavaliers with the fourth overall pick selected OJ Mayo.
   The Cleveland fans at the scene cheered.
   The Supersonics did not choose Mayo, this wave they have picked up a big leak.
   And Mayo also meets their requirements.
   Last season, Nick Young, who performed well, was selected.
   They are now outside Mayo and Young, inside Bargnani and Milicic, relying on years of talent accumulation, have also piled up a good lineup.
   Of course, only in theory.
   Because Mayo put on a bad face when he came on stage.
  Before the start of the draft, Mayo had threatened to go to the big city, and he had confided with the Knicks several times.
   Now he is going to a place like Cleveland where birds don't shit, he can imagine how he feels.
   The Timberwolves with the fifth overall pick chose Kevin Love.
   Before the start of this pick, Barkley once again asked Sun Hao and Jordan to guess who they would choose.
   Gallinari guessed by Sun Hao.
   He guessed wrong this time.
   In fact, in his last life, Sun Hao also watched this draft because of Rose.
   And in his last life, he didn't understand why the Timberwolves chose Mayo and had to trade for Love.
   You must know that the Timberwolves also had Al Jefferson back then. There was no reason to want Love.
  Some people will say that Love can open up space!
   The fact is not like that. Love has no range in the early stage. He is also a low post insider like Jefferson.
  Of course, no one can guess so well about management.
   Sun Hao and Jordan continue their chatter, and the live draft is also continuing.
   The Hawks with the sixth overall pick selected Gallinari;
   The seventh overall Houston team selected Eric Gordon;
   The Bucks with the eighth overall pick selected "Chinese Boy" Joe Alexander;
   The Bobcats with the ninth overall pick DJ Augustin;
   The 10th overall pick of the Nets drafted Brook Lopez, their dream insider;
  ……
   Soon~EbookFREE.me~ The lottery show is almost ready.
   At this moment, Sun Hao's phone shook.
   took a look, it was from Jordan!
   It may be because Sun Hao accurately guessed the SuperSonics. Jordan thinks of Sun Hao's ability in the draft.
   This year's Wizards draft pick is the best in recent years, with the 24th overall pick.
   At this time, some people might say that the Lakers were almost the same pick last season.
   That's right, Wizards 24, Lakers 25.
   But this year's Lakers draft did not ask Sun Hao.
   At this time, I have to mention the Bath family, because after the end of last season, there have been great changes within the Bath family.
